CARPENTRY III : EN0533 Description: This subcourse concludes the instruction on carpentry. It discusses the requirements for competent cabinet work, explaining the kinds and selections of woods, the classification and uses of woodworking joints, and the standards for their employment. The selection of materials for constructing wooden articles, the assembling of parts into units, and the steps taken in a final inspection of completed work are presented in sequence. Contents: Subcourse Overview Lesson 1: Cabinetwork Practice Exercise Lesson 2: Prefabricated Buildings Practice Exercise Lesson 3: Heavy Timber Construction Practice Exercise Lesson 4: Sawmill Operation
CONSTRUCTION PRINT READING : EN0113 Description: Construction print reading is a key skill for technical students. Fortunately, a formal education is not essential for achieving proficiency in this important subject; the study of correspondence courses such as this can provide the essential skills. Contents: Lesson 1: Principles and Methods Lesson 2: Architectural Drawings Lesson 3: Utilities Drawings Lesson 4: Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration Drawings Lesson 5: Bills of Materials Appendix A: Symbols Appendix B: Conversion Tables Appendix C: Extract TM 5-704
FRAME STRUCTURES : EN0069 Description: The objective of this subcourse is to provide you with the fundamentals of planning and supervising the construction of frame structures which comprise the basic type of building in a theater of operations. It will also orient you in the fundamentals of construction print reading. You will learn about building layout procedures; framing details of substructures, superstructures, and roofs; kinds and properties of timber; and planning and estimating material and labor requirements for frame construction. Emphasis is on simplified theater-of-operations construction. However, some details of conventional construction are also included for use as a general guide and for use in rehabilitation and repair of existing structures. Contents: Lesson 1. Construction Print Reading - Building Layout and Substructures. Lesson 2. Superstructures - Framing. Lesson 3. Roofing-Finishing Details. Lesson 4. Materials Estimating. Lesson 5. Construction Methods and Standards - Planning Estimates.
